I'd bet you would need several permits , then a license, then a huge insurance policy, safety crews standing by, those should cover why you couldn't do this in America ..

Looks like he is out on open farmland. Hate to burst your bubble, but in the United States, people do whatever they want on open farmland.

My brother sets one up every July 4th weekend when he has a party on his farm. Kids love it.

But you are correct, normally, in populated areas all sorts of permits are needed so you don't have to look at the fucking eyesore if your neighbor tries to build one.

:winkwink::winkwink:

You do realize the story in your OP was about a slide in an unpopulated rural area farm right?

He doesn't care. He is taking the one answer that supports his belief. :-)

It's too bad, the waterslide story by itself is pretty cool. There wasn't any need to try and spin it to point a finger at america.

I guess that's the price we have to pay to keep the Dingoes away.

It's good that they let people there do this to give them other options besides beating up kangaroos.

BTW, the secret to going crazy fast on a water slide is to turn the water off after getting a good film of water on the slide. The slider can only go as fast as the water is running.

So in Australia there are no building codes and no home owners associations, etc, maintaining standards? Sounds like a great place to not live.

.

Its no different than USA, you can do that stuff on a farm because liability and insurance stop at the gate, but try it in a backyard here in Sydney and you would be arrested, try to remove a tree.. and you can be arrested. In many ways were are way more over regulated here than the USA

You might get away with it in Thailand

I know, just pointing out how stupid this thread was.

Anything you can do in Australia we can do bigger and better in the USA and without the stupid Crocodile Dundee accent.

shadow of this guy is scary :D :1orglaugh
